Re: Existential crisis at Encyclopedia Dramatica
My pleasure, cunt. Shall I add your address, SSN and phone number?
ED's Rules_Going_Forward wrote:Rule 2: All doxing (except faildox) is allowed. This includes but is not limited to the following: Name, Address, SSN, Birth records, Criminal history, and others.
Re: Existential crisis at Encyclopedia Dramatica
Do whatever you like; my dox have been around for the better part of a decade, you wouldn’t be doing anything novel. You’re still a dick.
Is that screenshot you took from the guy who did jail time for attacking me supposed to mean something to me?

Re: Existential crisis at Encyclopedia Dramatica
It means that when you're involved with a site that had done widespread, indiscriminate doxxing for decades, you've probably lost all rights to a pity party when it happens to you.

Re: Existential crisis at Encyclopedia Dramatica
I'm beginning to suspect this isn't ED's biggest fan club.
For the record, however: I did not provide Zaiger's sensitive info to the new wiki admins, nor did I encourage it to be posted.

And even better than that when it shuts down altogether!
Anyway, I don't think anyone here blames you for Mandi Brown's death (and if they do I hope they'll keep that opinion to themselves), but at the same time you're probably a bit more culpable than most for the imminent collapse of Western culture, democracy, and civilization in general.

Re: Existential crisis at Encyclopedia Dramatica
This thread felt surreal. The story basically feels like the internet version of a small village in some extremely remote area, where everyone knows everyone else and they hide their big dark secrets and closet skeletons from outsiders. Something I would expect to find Fredrik Knudsen's channel as a two hour long video. Will the new kids on TikTok/Twitter be able to experience the surreal feeling of watching mentally ill people bully each other on KiwiFarms?

Re: Existential crisis at Encyclopedia Dramatica
I think the founders of ED were sane enough. They wanted to create an Internet honeypot for weirdos. And of course quite a few Wikipedia admins have edited there.

Re: Existential crisis at Encyclopedia Dramatica
There's another ED online: https://encyclopediadramatica.wiki/index.php/Girlvinyl
Connectivity to this one was intermittent yesterday, but is okay as I write this. At least it is still on Cloudflare's nameservers, whereas encyclopediadramatica.se now shows parked nameservers. Yesterday Cloudflare had occasional difficulty connecting to encyclopediadramatica.wiki for some reason.
If Cloudflare is still not connecting, you can try the Wayback Machine:
https://web.archive.org/web/20200605174 ... /Girlvinyl
Girlvinyl ignored my years-long effort to get my bio on ED deleted. I refuse to give her the benefit of the doubt. She started ED, and had absolute control over it until she lost interest. At that point Ryan Cleary created a fork of ED and expanded it from archived ED files. You can read more about ED's history at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encyclopedia_Dramatica

Re: Existential crisis at Encyclopedia Dramatica
I accidentally came across EDF4 (Encyclopedia Dramatica Forums, 4th generation):
https://malhub.com/index.php?threads/ta ... wn-ed.687/
It's quite an active forum, and it would take a day to read thoroughly. Fortunately it's not using Cloudflare so it's easy to navigate, and their search function actually works! It seems to have been around for only a few months, judging from the dates on the posts. It's definitely connected to the "current" ED, but I don't know who is in charge.

They acknowledge you, complete with fake picture.
Daniel Brandt - in 2014 he managed to jack the .es domain after Zaiger registered it under his name in an attempt to drive away any negative attention that the site might bring him by simply calling up the web host and shutting the domain down.

Re: Existential crisis at Encyclopedia Dramatica
More stuff: Another domain, "encyclopediadramatica.fyi", is also on Cloudflare. It gets redirected to encyclopediadramatica.wiki.
Based on the Alexa traffic graph at https://encyclopediadramatica.wiki.siteindices.com/ and compared to the same graph at https://encyclopediadramatica.fyi.siteindices.com/ it appears that he stopped using the "fyi" domain in mid-August and now uses just "wiki". Both domains use the same two nameservers at Cloudflare ("dane" and "meera"), and both are most likely on the same account at Cloudflare.
